Hyidai relies mainly on hydroelectric sources, but thermoelectric sources are on the rise. This includes tiny batteries that charge from heat.

51%: Nuclear
36%: Hydroelectric
9%: Wind/Other
4%: Coal/Oil

Within the United Realms, nuclear power is widely used due to the surplus of uranium found within the Lewfü mountains. Hydroelectric power makes up over one-third of the electricity production due to the many rivers and reservoirs. The use of coal and oil has decreased over the years, with wind and other other renewable and sustainable forms of energy rising, primarily in the plains and lowlands.

For Zanforadon, its energy usage goes as follows:

-> Nuclear: about 19.6%
-> Hydro: about 23.8%
-> Coal: about 1.6%
-> Natural gas: about 0.5%
-> Solar: about 20.5%
-> Wind: about 24%

Coal and natural gas have little to barely any use in the country, as the resources to find and refine them is more costly than the energy they can produce, though some rural areas still use them as a back up. Nuclear power sits where it is as the refining process is slightly more expensive than the power output it produces. Hydro, solar and wind energy are highly sought after as the vast majority of houses in the country have highly refined solar panels hooked up on the roofs, while wind turbine farms cover 10% to 19% of the country's maritime territory, and hydroelectric plants cover about 30% of the country's electricity needs. Research is being done to see if quantum electricity is doable and if power plants can quantify it in a meaningful way.

Despite being one of the worlds largest exporters of coal and oil, Countesia relies heavily on nuclear fission to fuel its vast energy consumption. An estimated 75% of all energy produced in Countesia is generated by its 97 nuclear reactors scattered across the country. The reason behind such a reliance on nuclear power despite possessing abundance of fossil fuels is a direct result of the Conklin Scheme, devised by Minister of Energy Ronald Conklin in 1999 as a solution to the global surge in oil prices. It was decided that Countesia would save itself from any future fuel shortages by phasing out all but a handful of its coal and oil plants and replacing them with nuclear reactors, as well as financing a number of hydroelectric projects as a supplementary power source. Solar power and wind power are relatively new players in the Countesian energy business, as it is only within the last five years that they became economically feasible.

A breakdown of energy sources in Countesia:

Nuclear - 75%
Renewable (Hydro, solar & wind) - 10%
Coal - 3%
Oil - 2%

The Commonwealth heavily relies on environment friendly, state-run hydroelectric dams, solar paneling en masse, and wind turbines to run an efficient energy source.

There are some private, corporate-run Nuclear power plants near the Barren Lands, as nuclear power wouldn't hurt anything over there, if anything, a meltdown in the region would simply make the Barren Lands "even more barren" ANE. (Artoisian Nuclear Engineer) Léo Dutertre once said.

60% Hydroelectric Power. (From Hydro Dams.)
10% Solar Power. (From Solar Paneling to a process in which exploits plants that cannot be named due to classified reasons.)
10% Wind Power. (From state-facilitated wind turbine farmlands.)
20% Nuclear Power (From Barren Lands Private Nuclear Power Facilities.)

Tech levels incompatible? Then kick me out of the thread, because if you RP with me you accept my tech.
Note: Before 2480, Olwe was called Athan. If you see this word in a thread, it's because you mentioned a year incompatible with Olwe in that thread but still made it open to all techs and therefore are allowing Athan's magic.

Hello All,

The requested information is found below.

Power sources:
37% Uranium fission
22% Natural gas combustion
20% Coal combustion
12% Oil combustion
9% Geothermal

There are no plans in place to change the nation's energy makeup, but it will likely change with market fluctatations. Currently, natural gas is becoming cheaper and cheaper, so more of those plants are being built than any other type.
Sincerely,
Rho Ophiuchi
